Case Managers function as liaisons between patients, their families and internal and external health care personnel to ensure appropriate, efficient and timely health care service. The Case Manager advocates for the patient and family and collaborates with the health care team to facilitate appropriate movement along the continuum of care from inpatient admission to discharge. Their focus includes providing clinical documentation to third party payers to facilitate authorization and reimbursement for inpatient hospital stays, coordinating discharge needs, to include ensuring collaboration between the appropriate multidisciplinary team members and communication with providers/community resources, as applicable. The Case Manager provides information to the Quality department for their follow-up.
